ID ESPECTFULLY SOLICITS A
~ continuance of the patronage of
those who occasionally require nm ex-
press for SHOPPING, MAKING CALLS, sc.
&C. The manager also desires to state
that the Company's drivers have earned
a reputation for CAREFUL DRIVING, CIVIL
Try and STRICT ADHERENCE TO TIE
LEGAL RATES of fare, thereby avoiding
the necessity to use cards, showing the
the time they have been engaged and
the amount received for fares.
The protection which this Company
offers the public against overcharging,
incivjlity. or needless driving, lies in
the fact that the majority of their driv-
ers have, by steady application and strict
attention TO business, become owners of
the teams they drive. Furthermore the
numerous calls for the COMPANY's CAR.
RIAeEs, demonstrate beyond a doubt,
that so far, satisfaction has been ac-
corded to the public. Parties who dc.
sire to ride behind certain horse or
driver, can always suit their choice, as
the drivers are not in the habit of chang.
ing about from one stable to another.
Discretion in charging, is q special
feature of the Company's policy.

How to Judge Canned Goods.

A hint now about timed goods,
meat especially. When about to
purchase, note the condition of the
tin; if bulged outwards, don't hare
it, eren as gift. We will explain
the process of canning, to give
weight to our warning.
The meat is packed in tins
while raw, then sealed, and cooked
in an outer vessel of boiling water,
with sometimes the addition of a
chemical to raise the temperature.
When cooked, the can is pierced,
and, as soon as the air and steam
have been expelled, it is soldered.
Experts know when it is ready
for soldering; a moment too soon,
and the mischief is done, because
if air is left in, the tin bulgee, and
the meat will not be good. On the
contrary. if the tin has sunk, it ia
an infallible sign of goodness; it
proves vacuum, which is natural
as the meat shrinks when there is
no air left in the tin.
Some may say: What matter if
air be left in the tin? Simply
this-nitrogen, an element of air,
inparts to bodies with which it
comes in contact a tendency to
change and decay.
Often, on opening a tin of pre-
served goods, people are heard to
say, "The air is escaping; instead
of which, the slight kissing sound
is the result of the air rushing in,
another proof that there was vac
uum.
Well, We go so far as to say that,
assuming the outward sign of
goodness above referred to, label
bearing the name of good exporte r
or i'm porter, and also a reliable ven
der of the article, whether me it, h,
milk, soup or vegetable, the chances
are million to one against any
being injured, much less poisoned,
by timed goods.
Another caution, though-al-
ways look out for any little glob-
ules of solder that sometimes find
their way inside the tin and take
care, specially in the case of sal
mon and lobster, to empty the con-
tents, as soon as opened, into an
earthenware vessel. This is nee
essary for everything except
milk,-Cassel's Family Magazine,

Suggestive Comments on the Cause OF
Colds and Kindred Ailments.
Foul dusts in rooms can not be got
rid of by any amount Of sweeping and
carpet-beating The only thing that
will remove and replace it is current
of comparatively pure air from the out
side. Except in very cold weather
there should always be two open win
dows in each room, on opposite sides.
1T we should follow that advice" the
Mortified reader will exclaim, I'VE
should all catch a fatal cold. Don't
l remember dozen colds got by
being exposed to a sudden draughtp
Only few nights ago, when occupied
seat near the door of a theater, the
door was left open during the intermis-
sion, and the draught. though pleasant
enough gave me bad cold. No, thank
you. No draughts for mel" This
logic seems good, yet it is utter sophis-
try. As a metaphysician would say,
the draught was only the occasion, not
the cause, of the cold. The real cause
was the foul, hot air in the theater,
which demoralized your skin and re-
Taxed its blood vessels. so that they
were unable to react suddenly and en-
dure the healthful, cool air from the
street. In other words, it was not the
draught that gave you cold. but the
sudden transition from hot to cold air.
Such transition always is injurious to
the skin, whether it be from hot to cold
or from cold to hot air. But if you are
not overheated current of cold air is
never injurious. As one of the greatest
! authorities on hygiene, Prof. Reclaim
remarks: "Draughts are not injurious
unless we are in glow. To healthy
persons they can not possibly do so
much harm as the stagnant air in a
| close room. The fear of draughts is
entirely groundless. though it affects
most people in manner which is simply
ludicrous. 1t is high time to acquit
draughts of the charge of being the
cause of our colds and to convict the
true culprit, the injurious dollhouse at
mosphere in our rooms. Why do peo-
| pie on river excursions or on ocean
steamers, where they are exposed to
terrible draughts, never "catch coldsP''
Simply because their skins are not pre-
viously broiled in lighthouses. = Ths

Spence and Tony Beggs, in which Tony
got beautifully left, and Jack carried
off half the gate money.
The creased pole part of the enter
tainment was glittering success.
Many of our leading citizens made des-
perate but futile attempts to shin up it.
but our mayor knocked the rest Of the
crowd silly on the climb.
The fat mems race would have made

were Fatty Parsons and Bud Doble.
and the way they waddlcd off wasn't
slow. Fatty tips the beam at two hun

was somewhat accelerated by the play

TWO KINDS OF MALARIA.


The Poisonous Moral and Spiritual Atmos-
phcre Found in Many Houses.
In China, certain districts are sup
posed to be under the control of de-
mons, who prohibit their use for hui
man habitations. When foreigners
persist in building upon these banned
spots, they are warned that they do it
at the risk of life. In most instances
the warning proves true, rs the SUPER
stition concerning the demons is the
Chinese way of expressing the fact that
the locality is malarious. Many tribes
of the North American Indians refuse
to live in wigwam or hut in which
there have been two cases of disease or
death. The district of Qualla. in
North Carolina. inhabited by the Cher
okees, used to be full of vacant huts.
which the inmates had deserted for
this cause. "They are accused" said
the Indians. Like the Chinaman, they
had laid to the charge of their evil
spirits the misdeeds of miasma.
Modern sanitary science is doing
